Both important towns, Killa Saifullah and Muslim Bagh are located on the national highway. Buses, vans and pick-ups provide inter as well as intra-district transport. Because of the mountainous nature of the area, development of infrastructure and communications is a difficult as well as expensive task. 2.1 Roads Killa Saifullah district is linked by road with Zhob to the east and with Muslim Bagh and Provincial Capital Quetta to the west. It is also linked with Loralai district. There is no air or railway link within the district. The total length of roads within the district is 1,109 kilometers out of which 162 km is metalled (black top).

  • Seasonal Assessment of Groundwater Contamination in Coal Mining Areas of Balochistan
    sustainability Article Seasonal Assessment of Groundwater Contamination in Coal Mining Areas of Balochistan Ayesha Ayub and Sheikh Saeed Ahmad * Department of Environmental Sciences, Fatima Jinnah Women University, The Mall, Rawalpindi 46000, Pakistan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +923215167726 Received: 11 July 2020; Accepted: 18 August 2020; Published: 25 August 2020 Abstract: Balochistan is a semi-arid region. The assessment of water quality is very important, as the majority of people depend on groundwater for drinking purposes. The present study involves the quality assessment and mapping of drinking water in the five selected major coal mining sites in the four districts of Balochistan. A total of 50 samples were collected from these five coal mining sites in two seasons: i.e., summer and winter. A physicochemical analysis was carried out for groundwater - - 2+ samples: i.e., pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solid (TDS), CO3, HCO3 , Cl , Ca , Mg2+, Na+,K+, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Hg, Ni, and Zn. Thematic maps were used to depict the spatial distribution of significant variables and were compared with WHO standards (2011) during both seasons. The majority of parameters crossed the safe permissible limit of WHO standards. The water quality index (WQI) was calculated for the whole monitoring data obtained from both seasons from the perspective of drinking water in each of the selected sites. Moreover, a principle component analysis (PCA) and correlation matrix was carried out for the data analysis in order to identify the source of pollution and correlation among the variables. The results suggested that the overall quality of water from the selected coal mining sites deteriorated due to the overexploitation of coal mines and mining activity.

  • The Quest for Peace in Chechnya: the Relevance of Pakistan’S Tribal Areas Experience
    The Quest for Peace in Chechnya: The Relevance of Pakistan’s Tribal Areas Experience Svante E. Cornell Maria Sultan October 2002 Svante Cornell is Executive Director and Maria Sultan Pakistan Bureau Director of Cornell Caspian Consulting. Cornell is also Research Director of the Silk Road Studies Program at Uppsala University and Deputy Director of the Central Asia- Caucasus Institute, Johns Hopkins University. Sultan is Senior Fellow at the Institute of Strategic Studies, Islamabad, Pakistan. The Quest for Peace in Chechnya: The Relevance of Pakistan’s Tribal Areas Experience Though the war in Chechnya has clearly reached a deadlock, there seems to be little hope of a solution. Political analyst almost unanimously believe the war is set to continue for another several years, and few expect any development toward a peaceful resolution before 2004, at the earliest. This war is extremely costly for both sides, and damaging to the regional security of the entire Caucasus region. The blunt of the burden has been borne by Chechen civilians, who have for several years faced Russian aerial bombardment, zachistkas, death and mutilation, poverty and destruction. For Russia, Chechnya is a costly war that it cannot afford, depleting the resources of its military, while the Russian army is sinking ever deeper into chaos, the war thwarting all possible military reform. The military is taking casualties on a continuous basis, casualties that are far higher than it is publicly admitting. Unwilling or unable to find a way out of the war, the Putin administration has instead tried to regionalize the conflict, blaming Georgia for hosting Chechen rebels and threatening to launch a unilateral military intervention on Georgian territory.

  • The Tomb of Meer Buzerg at Barkhan, Balochistan: History and Architecture Shakir Naseer, Waheed Razzaq & Ghulam Farooq Baloch
    Ancient Pakistan, Vol. XXVII (2016) 79 The Tomb of Meer Buzerg at Barkhan, Balochistan: History and Architecture Shakir Naseer, Waheed Razzaq & Ghulam Farooq Baloch Abstract: District Barkhan is one of the neglected regions of Balochistan in terms of archeological and ethnological investigation, in which it is very rich. Recently in 2013, an exploratory team of Balochistan Study Center, University of Balochistan made a three-day archaeological exploration in Barkhan to record archaeological sites and monuments. Apart from other discoveries, the team also discovered an Islamic Period tomb. But proper documentation was carried out later on by the principal author. The tomb is situated in a small town about 15 km south west of Barkhan city. This is a 17th century tomb erected by the Mughal ruler Jahangir to entomb one of his brave generals who passed away while going to Kandahar. The history of this long march has been written by a Hindu historian Raie Bahadur Lala Aturam in his famous book Tarikh-e-Balochistan in 1903. He has also mentioned this tomb and the information pertaining to the buried personage. Architecturally this monument is octagon in plain. The octagonal architecture resembles the Tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam, Multan with its architectural elements as well the tombs of Lal Mara Sharif in DI Khan, Uchchh Sharif in Bahawalpur, and other pre-eminent Muslim Architectural shrines of Pakistan. Keywords: Balochistan, Sooran Barkhan, Tomb, Meer Buzerg, Tombstone, Architectural decoration. Introduction Nomenclature of Barkhan Barkhan has 1317 square miles area and is 1216 History shows that the name of this region kept ft above mean sea level.
